The prolific The Samurai of Prog, along with its many offshoots, are certainly on a roll. If, for the moment, we set aside the half-a-dozen albums produced since 2020 by the TSoP collective, we also have six collaborative albums from Messrs Bernard, Pörsti and friends in the same time-frame. The latest in this tsunami of releases, Views From the Inner World, features Spanish multi-instrumentalist Rafael Pacha, drummer and multi-instrumentalist Kimmo Pörsti along with an impressive cast of guest musicians, including Marco Bernard. Now given such a heavy release schedule you might be forgiven for thinking that somewhere along the line there might be a dip in quality? Well that is as maybe, however there is no evidence of it here. The overall 'concept' behind the album is the human condition and how we, as individuals or collectively, strive to resolve life's conundrums. Pacha & Pörsti have therefore set out a musical interpretation with Views From the Inner World, which features ten tracks written by Rafael, Kimmo, or as co-writes, and with further input from the guest musicians. They have also looked to Dan Schamber for the lyrics on three tracks.
